Chord Co. Chrysalis Interconnect Cable 2RCA - 5-Pin DIN 1.0m

Regular price £29.95

Serial Number: 953950

Here we have an example of the Chrysalis Interconnect Cable from British experts The Chord Company. The Chrysalis was the first ‘cord’ made by the company when it was formed in the mid-eighties and was said to be rather similar to Naim Audio’s Lavendar cable. Indeed the link with Naim was a definite one as Chord’s founder - Sally Gibb - was married to the one of Naim’s executives. Our example is in good condition and would be perfect to integrate Naim components with those from other manufacturers. It is one metre in length and is fitted with a 5-pin DIN connector at one end and RCA plugs at the other.

Further Information

The Chord Company was formed in 1985. It all started over dinner one night in Salisbury, when a group of visiting Naim Audio USA retailers asked Naim Audio UK for a good-quality DIN-to-RCA interconnect. At the table, was one Sally Gibb, then married to a Naim Audio executive, who made the (historic) suggestion that she make the cables and start a business. With the blessing of Naim Audio, the journey to make cables for America began.
With USA referring to cables as ‘cords’, the name The Chord Company, with its obvious musical connotations, seemed perfect and it quickly stuck. Sally drew a logo, designed the packaging and started testing prototypes. Completely British design and construction, although difficult to source at the time, was paramount and days of searching eventually led to suppliers of sufficient quality. Friends at Naim Audio provided expertise and advice, with many of them helping to build the cables.
The first prototype was named “Chrysalis Cable” and the Americans swiftly returned with an initial order of 250! Cables were built, tested, packed and taken along to the Post Office. Invoices were typed on a typewriter! After two steady years, The Chord Company got its first press review (by Malcolm Steward) and then the phone started to ring…
